Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of 's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-Street Fighter Manon was born the youngest of three siblings into a wealthy French aristocratic family. At her father’s encouragement, she began practicing judo in a public preschool class, where her exceptional talent quickly became apparent and earned her recognition as a prodigy. She soon transitioned to private training under her father’s instructor. As the only daughter, Manon enjoyed a generally happy childhood alongside her two older brothers. However, before she began competing internationally, her parents divorced. Her mother reassured her that she would be “just fine” on her own because she was “strong,” words that deeply affected Manon. She came to believe she was left behind due to that strength and grew to resent the word itself. For a time, she convinced herself that excelling in judo might reunite her parents, and while she later accepted that this hope was unrealistic, a trace of it remained within her. As she matured, Manon pursued multiple careers and achieved remarkable success in all of them. She won a gold medal at the world judo championships, an accomplishment she cherished so much that she wore the medal everywhere. Beyond judo, she also rose to prominence as a ballerina, supermodel, and actress. Much of her drive to excel stems from a desire to prove her mother’s words—that she would be “just fine”—wrong. Despite her achievements, Manon gradually became distant and emotionally guarded, worn down by constant praise and the expectation that she would naturally succeed at everything. She also grew frustrated with being viewed by most people, aside from her brothers, as nothing more than a flawless ideal rather than a person. Street Fighter 6 A world champion judoka and successful fashion model, Manon is an idealist who continually strives for self-improvement, viewing beauty and strength as goals to be refined. She participates in street fighting as another stage to test herself, seeking to prove her ideals through combat. In her arcade, Manon reflects on how she has been described as “strong” throughout her life, a word she has come to dislike and avoids using for herself. This perspective begins to change after she is noticed by Marisa at the colosseum and directly challenged to a fight. Despite the blunt nature of the challenge, Manon senses a connection when Marisa states that they pursue the same ideals. Manon wins the match, but Marisa’s enthusiasm and enjoyment of the fight leave a lasting impression on her. Unlike others, Marisa values strength as a motivation for self-improvement rather than a label earned through achievement alone. When Marisa calls her strong, Manon does not feel discomfort, but instead finds encouragement in the shared mindset. When Marisa proposes a rematch, Manon accepts, choosing to acknowledge her strength on her own terms and in the way Marisa understands it. In Marisa’s arcade story, she recalls first noticing Manon within a crowd at the colosseum and immediately challenging her. In Manon’s ending, she defeats Marisa, who then asks for a rematch. In Marisa’s ending, Marisa wins the second bout. Afterward, the two share a moment of mutual respect, discussing their views on strength, victory, and defeat, and forming a bond through combat. Manon appears in E. Honda’s story during his search for a location to open his restaurant. Upon learning that Honda plans to build at the site of the Fête Foraine carnival, Manon approaches him to voice her objection. Before she can explain, Honda challenges her to a match, believing she does not understand sumo. After the fight, Manon explains her concerns and advises Honda to create a restaurant that reflects his own vision. Honda accepts her advice and later opens Chanko House Edomon in Metro City.

Appearance

Manon in her default outfit

General Description: Manon is a tall, elegant French woman with a statuesque, athletic build that reflects her background in both judo and ballet. Her posture is refined and composed, reinforcing her graceful yet powerful presence.

Facial Features: Manon has light pink hair styled in a short cut with hime-cut bangs and longer side fringes, evoking the silhouette of a swan. Her hairstyle remains largely consistent across most appearances, though it changes significantly in select outfits and story depictions.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Default Outfit: Royal blue singlet with red, white, and blue streaks, featuring cutouts around the torso and hips. A gold medal depicting two abstract judo figures is embedded in the collar. Over the singlet, she wears a white gi with turquoise trim, rolled-up sleeves, and a black judo belt at the waist. Matching blue footguards and wristbands with white stripes complete the look. Her nails are painted in the colors of the French flag.
• Second Outfit: Ballet-inspired ensemble featuring a black bra partially covered by a black-and-pink orchid feather cape. Pink orchid gloves with diamond motifs and purple palms extend into long black gauntlets. The gold medal is worn as a choker. She wears glossy black leggings with ruffled hip accents resembling a ballet tutu, pink orchid gladiator sandals, and flat-top sunglasses with a purple tint.
• Arcade Story (Childhood / Young Adult): Wears a traditional judo gi. As a child, her side fringes are cut short, creating a mushroom-like hairstyle. As a young adult, the fringes grow to shoulder length while retaining the same outfit style.
• Pre-Debut Baking Attire: Appears with long pink hair styled into ringlets similar to Karin Kanzuki’s, wearing a pink and white gothic-style dress while baking cakes and desserts.
• Third Outfit: French Revolution-inspired royal military attire consisting of a dark blue and red short military jacket with gold parallel buttons, gold epaulettes, large white jabot, gold wrist cuffs with ruffled white sleeve ends, and a split-tail skirt reaching knee height. She wears white gloves, white military pants tucked into off-white knee-high boots with V-shaped openings trimmed in gold, gold fleur-de-lis on the front, and red-violet soles and toe caps. Her hair remains pink but is styled into Victorian ringlets, as seen in her World Tour background.
• Fourth Outfit: Fashion-forward swimsuit featuring a deep-cut one-piece with a pale blue upper panel and dark navy lower section, accented by a gold “M” emblem below the navel. She wears a sheer cropped shawl patterned with interlocking gold “M” motifs, stacked gold bracelets, a chain choker holding her gold medal, angular gold-framed sunglasses, and gold gladiator sandals.

Special Features: Manon’s gold medal serves as both a competitive symbol and fashion accessory across multiple outfits. Her visual themes consistently blend elegance, national identity, and athletic prestige.

Alternate Forms/Disguises: Manon features multiple outfit swaps that highlight different aspects of her identity, including her judo career, ballet influence, cultural heritage, and high-fashion sensibilities.

Personality

• Idealistic and Ambitious: Manon is driven by self-improvement, striving to become the world’s strongest model by combining beauty with martial prowess. She enjoys street fighting and actively seeks out strong opponents to test herself.

• Haughty but Principled: She often presents herself as snobbish and refined, carrying a confident, aristocratic demeanor. Despite this, she maintains clear standards and openly despises individuals with hidden or malicious intentions, such as JP.

• Competitive Drive: Similar to fighters like Karin Kanzuki and Cody, Manon relishes facing powerful adversaries, viewing combat as a means to refine both her skill and self-worth.

• Emotionally Guarded: Due to unresolved family issues, particularly her mother’s words in childhood, Manon dislikes being praised simply for being “strong.” She has grown indifferent to accolades, believing success is merely expected of her.

• Aloof and Isolated: Being perceived as perfect and self-sufficient has caused Manon to struggle with forming close friendships, as others often see her as unapproachable or emotionally distant.

• Evolving Self-Understanding: Her encounter with Marisa marked a turning point, helping Manon realize that strength is not about being “just fine” alone, but about having the motivation and determination to continue growing and improving.

Goals

• Struts the catwalk of street fighting to become the world's strongest model/Strongest Idol on Earth (Ongoing).

This counter move reduces the damage when the fighter is under attack or blocking.

Guard Crash

The Guard Power Gauge shortens while blocking, or if the fighter is hit with a Guard Crush. If the fighter refrains from blocking, the gauge will gradually recover. If the gauge drains out, they won't be able to block until they recover power.

Punch

There are three basic punches:

Light Punch (JAB)

Press the Y button. The jab is very quick, but does little damage.

Medium Punch (STRONG)

Press the X button. The strong punch does a fair amount of damage.

Hard Punch (FIERCE)

Press the L button. The fierce punch does a large amount of damage, but is slow.

Kick

There are three basic kicks:

Light Kick (SHORT)

Press the B button. The short kick is very quick, but does very little damage.

Medium Kick (FORWARD)

Press the A button. The forward kick is strong and is fairly quick.

Hard Kick (ROUNDHOUSE)

Press the R button. This roundhouse kick is powerful, but very slow.

Close Attacks

Close Attacks are special techniques which can only be used when two fighters are right next to each other. These techniques fall into two basic categories: THROWS and HOLDS.

Throws

Throws allow fighters to grab an opponent and toss them across the room. Some fighters can even do thorws in mid-air.

• Example: It is possible for Ryu to grab Ken and throw him over his shoulder. To do the Shoulder Throw, Ryu must push forward against Ken and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Holds

Holds allow fighters to grab an opponent and then hit or bite them again and again.

• Example: It is possible for Blanka to bite Guile on the head. To do the Head Bite, Blanka must push forward against Guile and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Special Moves

Each character has developed his or her own special moves for use in combat.

Regular Moves

Press a Punch (P) or Kick (K) button.

Special Moves

Combo moves made up of a D-Button/Joystick command and a Punch or Kick button press.

Block

• Upper block: ←
• Lower block: ↙

Fighters can perform either a standing or crouching block. Use a right block to ward off an opponent's attack.

High Jump

↓↑ Jump higher than a regular jump.

Dash

→→ or ←←

Parrying

• Standing parry: → (toward opponent)
• Crouching blocking parry: ↓

Press toward opponent for an upper attack or ↓ for a lower attack the moment the opponent's attack hits. If successful, the fighter moves first and takes the advantage.

Quick Standing

↓ The moment an opponent knocks or throws a fighter up into the air, this technique allows them to recover.

Dizzy Recovery

All buttons Recovery from dizziness more quickly by rapidly pressing the Directional Buttons, punch buttons and kick buttons in any random order.

Throw & Grapple

LP + LK simultaneously When close to an opponent, press the Light Punch + Light Kick buttons simultaneously to throw the opponent. Some characters have grab moves instead of throws. Also, input the command the moment the opponent grabs the fighter to escape from the opponent's throw move.

Leap Attack

MP + MK simultaneously Jump lower than a regular jump and attack. Effective against an opponenet who is doing a crouching block.

Personal Action

HP + HK simultaneously Each character has an individual Personal Action with a unique effect.

Super Art

Directional Button/Joystick + Punch or Kick Button A Super Art move is a super powerful special move. As the fighter attacks, their Super Art Gauge gradually fills up. When the gauge is full, the fighter can perform a Super Art move. Each fighter has three Super Arts.

EX Special Move

2P or 2K buttons

When the Super Arts Gauge is blinking light blue, press two P or K buttons while inputting a Special Move command to perform a more powerful version of the Special Move. An EX Special Move requires a certain amount of Super Art Gauge.

Normal Moves

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual attack performed depends on the position of the fighter and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows the fighter to perform a special move. Even if the opponent blocks a special move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the command for a special move during certain normal moves allows the fighter to cut short, or "cancel", the normal move and quickly go straight into performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to create damaging combinations.

Block

Pushing the directional button away from the opponent allows the fighter to block their attacks. They can block high (Standing) and low (crouching) attacks. High and low blocks can block specific attacks, but not every attack. The fighter will need to carefully and quickly swap between them to block all incoming attacks.

Dash

Press the forward directional button twice to perform a forward dash, or the backward directional button twice to perform a backward dash. Dashing allows the fighter to quickly close the distance between them and their opponent, or to fall back and reassess the situation.

Stun Recovery

If the fighter keeps getting pummeled, they will eventually become stunned. While stunned, they cannot do anything. Their only hope is to press the directional buttons and other buttons as fast as they can to recover from the stun faster.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, pressing the light punch button and light kick buttons simultaneously allows the fighter to throw their opponent. Theyh can change the direction they throw the opponent by pressing the left or right directional buttons. They can prevent themself from being thrown by pressing light punch and light kick together when their opponent begins to throw them. This is called "throw escape".

Some characters can also perform a throw when jumping (aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

Recovery

When the opponent's attacks have knocked their character to the ground, they can press the down directional button twice or any two attack buttons simultaneously the instant that they hit the dirt to perform a quick recovery. A successful recovery will reduce the amount of time spent prone on the ground and make it easier to respond to the next incoming attack.

Some attacks, such as throws, do not allow a recovery to be performed after them.

Personal Action

While standing, the fighter can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons together to make sure they perform a personal action and taunt their opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.

Focus Attack

Performing

Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If the fighter releases the button while charging, the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.

Hyper Armor

The fighter can absorb up to one enemy attack in the time between pressing the Medium Punch / Medium Kick buttons and the Focus Attack being peformed. They can then go on to counter by performing the attack.

Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section of the fighter's vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time. This damage will recover as time passes, but if they are hit again before it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be recovered.

Levels

There are three levels of charging for a Focus Attack. The levels depend on how long the fighter holds the Medium Punch and Medium Kick. The fighter will flash white each time the Focus Attack level increases.

Levels
Attack Level	Main Benefits of Focus Attack performed
Level 1	Only does regular damage Crumples opponent if a counter hit
Level 2	Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier follow up
Level 3 (Keep holding until performed)	Becomes unblockable Has Armor Break properties Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier to follow up.

When an opponent crumples, they are rendered totally defenseless as they fall to the floor. Follow up with extra attacks or throw to take advantage of a crumpled opponent and do further damage.

The fighter cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but they can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.

Super Combo

Hitting the opponent or performing special moves will increase the Super Combo Gauge. The gauge is divided into four segments and, when completely full, a special command can be inpute to perform an all-powerful Super Combo. Doing so will use up all of the Super Combo Gauge.

Super Cancel

Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and the fighter can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo. This is called a "Super Cancel". Using Super Cancels strategically allows the fighter to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.

EX Special Moves

The fighter can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command. This will consume one segment of the Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of the normal special moves.

EX Focus

When performing certain regular or special moves it is possible to press Medium Punch and Medium Kick together and cancel into a Focus Attack. This is called "EX Focus." (It will consume two segments of the Super Combo Gauge.) EX Focus has the same properties as a regular Focus Attack, aside from having no Hyper Armor effect.

The EX Focus can also be used when the fighter's special moves are blocked to protect themself from the opponent's counterattack.

Ultra Combo

The Revenge Gauge fills up as the opponent damages the fighter. Once it is over 50% full, the fighter can input a character-specific command to perform an "Ultra Combo," a devastating special move.

Performing an Ultra Combo will consume the entire Revenge Gauge. The higher the gauge is charged upon performing the attack, the more damage the ultra combo will do.

Normal Attacks

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform a normal attack. The precise attack varires depending on the fighter's position and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Pressing the directional and attack buttons in specific combinations will perform special moves. Special moves will take off a small amount of damage even when blocked. By performing a special move during certain normal attacks, the fighter can cancel the normal attack and move swiftly into doing a special move.

EX Special moves

These are special moves that are more powerful or have a stronger effect than normal. Fighters can perform an EX Special Move by pressing a punch or kick button (depending on the move) at the same time as the fighter inputs a special move command. This will use one stock of the fighter's Critical Gauge.

Guarding

Fighters can block an opponent's attack by pressing the directional button away from them. There are two types of guard: standing and crouching. Each can be used to block different types of attacks, so they'll need to know which type of guard is best for each situation.

V-Skill

Pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously will trigger a special action with a unique effect specific to that fighter.

V-Trigger

When a fighters V-Gauge is at MAX, press the hard punch and hard kick buttons simultaneously to trigger a special action specific to that character, consuming the entire V-Gauge. With effects like temporary power ups and teleportation, the V-Trigger can turn the tide of battle and give a fighter the upper hand.

V-Reversal

When guarding, press all kick or punch buttons at the same time while simultaneously pressing the directional button towards the opponent to consume one V-Gauge stock and perform a counter-move.

• Whether the fighter need to press punch or kick button depends on the fighter.

V-Shift

Press Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to spend 1 stock of V-Gauge and perform a backward evasive action.

V-Shift Break

If a fighter successfully parries their opponent's attack with a V-Shift, they will trigger slow motion. While in this state, press Hard Punch and Medium Kick together to perform a fighter-specific counterattack called a V-Shift Break.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, the fighter can perform a throw by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons simultaneously. If their opponent tries to throw them, they can execute a throw escape by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons together at just the right moment.

Recovery

When an opponent knocks the fighter down with an attack, they can perform a quick recovery by either pressing a directional button, or pressing two or more punch or two or more kick buttons simultaneously at just the right moment.

Movement

Walking

Pressing left and right on the control pad/left control stick will let the fighter move in that direction. The fighter can move forwards or backwards with no difficulty, not losing balance even while moving backwards while fighting against an opponent.

Dashing

Through double tapping the left control stick in the same direction, the fighter will perform a dash. Dashing lets the fighter cover more ground than regular advancing or retreating.

Jumping

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick upwards, the fighter will perform a jump. The fighter can either jump straight up or to either side. Jump are utilized for moving while avoiding opponent attacks, though jumping around too much will make the fighter look predictable.

Normal Attacks

Normal Attacks are performed through the fighter using the punch or kick inputs, allowing them to perform attacks of different strengths depending on the input done. There are weak versions of normal attacks known as light attacks, while weak they come out quick. There are medium attacks which are well balanced and easy to use. There are heavy attacks that leave the fighter open to counter attacks, but to make up for it they deal good damage.

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick downwards, the fighter will crouch, if attacking in this state the fighter will perform a crouch attack.

Through inputting the jumping action, the fighter can also attack while jumping, performing jumping attacks.

Blocking

There are two kinds of blocks: Standing Blocks and Crouching Blocks.

• Standing Block: Press the left joy stick in the opposite direction of the opponent while standing to perform a standing block. Standing blocks can guard against any attacks that aren't aimed at the fighters feet.
• Crouching Block: For attacks standing blocks can't defend against, crouching blocks are instead viable. While facing right, input diagonally down and left with the control pad/left joy stick to block. Crouching Blocks can't defend against Overhead or Jumping Attacks, but they can deal with a lot of other attacks.

Throws

When a fighter cannot break through an opponent's block, they can use throws to deal damage instead. At close range press the light attack inputs at the same time for a normal throw. Throws are a great option for close-ranged offense.

Throw Escape

If the fighter is about to get thrown, they can answer back with a throw escape, by pressing the light attack inputs at the same time.

Special Moves

Through a fighter doing their correct inputs, they will be able to fire off their special move. Different special moves work better in different situations for a fighter.

Super Arts

Super Arts depend on the Super Art gauge. The Super Art gauge can be filled up to 3 levels, if a fighter has at least one level in the bar, they can perform a Super Art.

The Level 3 Super Art is every fighter's trump card. The Super Art gauge fills up whenever the fighter's attack hits or if they're attacked.

The Drive Gauge

All fighter's have a Drive Gauge which indicates a fighter's concentration and energy level. Utilizing this gauge lets a fighter perform unique actions.

Drive Impact

The fighter presses the right two shoulder buttons at the same time to perform a powerful attack. Drive Impacts can absorb two attacks from the opponent, but there are some exceptions. When in trouble, a fighter's Drive Impact can break through any attack. Drive Impacts have a unique characteristic: They can break a cornered opponent's block.

Drive Parry

This is performed by holding down the medium attack inputs at the same time, for a powerful defensive tool.

Drive Parries are effective against both standing and crouching attacks, and a successfull Drive Parry will replenish the drive gauge.

While Drive Parries are powerful, they can't defend against throws.

Perfect Parry

A Perfect Parry is the result of performing a Drive Parry the moment an opponent's attacks hits them. This is an invaluable tool for their counterattack game.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't characters comparable to Akuma be around Tier 6 (6-C) for him sinking an island in one punch?

A: Akuma's punch causes the island to start collapsing, and specifically causes an explosion of this size in comparisson to the island, there is also no direct timeframe for how long this took, making it hard to factor. On top of this, the size of the island is not that large. Playing Devil's Advocate and assuming this was to be Tier 6, this would not be consistent, as Akuma using his ultimate technique, the "Kongou-kokuretsuzan" only split Ayers Rock in half. Which it should be noted as Akuma is training constantly and getting stronger, the Island feat was all the way back in Alpha 2, which is before most of the games, while III: 2nd Impact is pretty late into the timeline.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Chun-Li's kikosho, which caused this massive crater, which was calculated to be 8-B?

A: While the scene is cut weirdly, a couple of things to note is for one, the consistency of kikosho. In Chun-Li's opening in Street Fighter IV, her kikosho pushes back a speeding car but does no serious damage to it. Another thing is that the crater is inconsistently sized between scenes. Finally, Chun-Li is weaker then Juri where while amped had powers that can blow up the inside of a building and cause a jet plane to explode, greatly injuring Guile, who she's comparable too in the process. Thus it does not make sense for 8-B when far lower feats affect them, and the calculation itself has issues.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to E. Honda, who destroyed a meteor?

A: In the feat, it's directly noted that the two wrestlers (Hakan and E. Honda) worked together, with E. Honda being thrown at high speeds into the meteor and being greatly damaged from said feat, having bandages all over his body. Thus the feat is not usable for scaling to anyone other then throwing speed.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Haggar, who causes an explosion seen from space?

A: Haggar's attack is modeled weird as it's heavily likely for partly comedic effect, asides from this, despite said explosions, the actual stage is largely unaffected by this attack, which furthers that this is just an over the top comedic effect attack rather then being a literal explosions from Earth.

Q: Shouldn't M. Bison be comparable to Akuma and by proxy any characters comparable to M. Bison are comparable to Akuma?

A: When Akuma first appears in Street Fighter II, he easily one-shots M. Bison, his ending in Alpha 3 has him easily kill M. Bison. The only two cases of M. Bison looking stronger is in his arcade mode he has Akuma as a rival fight, and ends up winning, and him calling the Raging Demon a pitifully weak move. However there are issues with both of these, the first one being this is simply a non-canon arcade mode from M. Bison, any other showing of M. Bison and Akuma shows Akuma as the superior one (Examples include Street Fighter V M. Bison getting one-shot by Ryu while Akuma easily beat Ryu in Street Fighter 5, THe Alpha 3 Akuma Ending and Street Fighter II Secret Akuma Boss Fight), on top of this M. Bison wants the satsui no hado's power, which is weaker then Akuma's during the events of Alpha 3. For Adon's part, Bison is merely attempting to convince him to take Psycho Power so that he can control him, this is doubly clear as any time M. Bison has been depicted on screen being hit by the Raging Demon he instantly dies. Also as a last point, for the rival fight, Feel the Cool played against M. Bison, while Groan only plays when he's fighting Gen or Evil Ryu, thus meaning Akuma even in M. Bison's arcade mode wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Q: Shouldn't Evil Ryu and thus the Statsui no Hado have 7-B due to it powering M. Bison's laser to destroy Bangkok?

A: This is not a solely Evil Ryu power, every fighter in the game has this, including Dan Hibiki. This also is a machine that saps all of their energy, where a persons total body energy is not comparable to the energy they produce regularly.

Q: Shouldn't all Street Fighter 6 charcters get 7-B for fighting SiRN Akuma?

A: While some statements suggest it to be equal in power to Akuma, several characters note that it isn't, as strong as the real Akuma. The real Akuma even considers SiRN Akuma a mockery. C. Viper notes the simulation is only passable as a simulation.
